Lawyer charges $110,000 for letters: Govt

The New South Wales Roads Minister, Eric Roozendaal, says he is concerned by reports of a solicitor charging 1,000 people $110 each to send a letter of complaint to the Government.

Some motorists are planning to launch a class action against the Government because they say there are insufficient signs off a side street leading to the speed camera on King Georges Road at Beverly Hills, in southern Sydney.

Mr Roozendaal says he would urge people to think twice before paying someone to write them a letter about it.

"The number of people that have chosen to take that option has reached 1,000," he said.

"That's $110,000 dollars for a simple mail merge form letter.

"If people want to write to me, they don't have to pay a solicitor $110. They are welcome to write to me and that is free."
